Tested to withstand temperatures to 20 below zero. The heating element is coiled between 2 walls in bottom of bucket. The cord is 67" long including plug-bottom of bucket has grooves for cord to stick out from either back or side. Keeps water from freezing but does not act as a water warmer. The element is not exposed. UL tested and approved. Thermostat turns on at approximately 38 degrees and off at 50 degrees. The heating element will not turn on until temperature gets cold enough.

Purchased this heated bucket because my horse suddenly refused to drink out of a galvanized tank. We always kept it clean, dumping the water daily. During the summer, we hung a bucket in the barn to make sure he had water and also left the tank full. He consistently would drink from the bucket but not the tank. Glad we started him on a bucket in the summer so we knew he would drink from the heated bucket.

I have Nelson Waterers in my barn which are great, except that my miniature donkey is too short to be able to use them. I needed something much closer to the ground, hence this purchase. This bucket is doing exactly what I bought it to do - it prevents water from freezing, so what more can one ask? I also like the way the cord is protected. The only issue is that I'm spoiled by the automatic waterers, and I have to remember to check it.

I bought this to have a water source for my ducks that won't freeze and will hold a good day's water. So far it has worked well in our early winter freezes and, with a bit of a platform so they can reach down into it, the size is great. It's tall enough they aren't tempted to go swimming... :) I can fill it in the middle of the day and they have plenty until the next day.

Everyone knows that adequate hydration is vital to avoid colic. My quarter horse is not a very good drinker and with ice or frozen water in the mix, it makes for a dangerous situation. I purchased 2 buckets for my paint and quarter horses about a month ago and I love them! They keep the water totally ice free and both of my guys drink lots of water now. I like the bigger size because my paint guzzles all of his water that we change 2 times a day. We have had negative temperatures for multiple nights and they have worked great!

I have used this model of buckets for 10+ years to water my chickens in the winter. I put poultry water nipples in the bottom of the bucket and suspend it in the coop. The heated bucket makes it so I do not have to water the chickens in very cold water.

Im so glad I found your site to order the heated water bucket. I bought one last year from anothet dealer web site and it was only a 2 gallon bucket which it stopped working before winter was completed. And it was more money too!! Your company delivered quickly and your bucket that was a 5 gallons and it was cheaper and better quality. I will use this company for all my needs. Thank you

We have 8 heated buckets in our stalls, 6 of which are this brand. The cords are longer than the other brand, which is very helpful. During the recent record cold in central Illinois, these buckets performed beautifully. When the power went off and it was 20 below, they did freeze, but after the power came back on, they immediately worked very well and the accumulated ice melted quickly. Such a relief to know the horses all had water at night.

Absolute lifesaver for us and our horses during this winter with several nights of freezing temperatures. I don't know what I would do without them. Â I purchased 2 last year and 2 more this year plus a heated tub. Highly recommend!Â

I use 3 of these and they work very well for dogs in their play yards. I do put dish soap on the wire covered cord to keep dogs from trying to chew it - it works great. I love having water available at all times without worry that it may have frozen.

This is the 4th one I've bought. The others are 3 years old and still working. Functions exactly as advertised, and has plenty of capacity.

I got a heated bucket like the one I bought several years ago as a promo, it still works but I thought I'd get another one for my dogs up by the house. I keep the other one by my tack room. They work great for dog water buckets when it freezes here
